I just walked the few metres to gather a salad.
Has anyone yet coined the phrase "food metres" ?
If not, I claim it in the name of Aquaponics
if so, oops sorry

I think having your "most used" food source close to you kitchen/cooking area is an important aspect of AP design and one that is often overlooked. |

The problem is, my herbs aren't doing so well. I read in a garden book somewhere that herbs tend to like undernourishment. |

Can depend on the herb, some herbs love heavy feeding. |
